Mr. Shackleford Dies Suddenly

Arrived From Union Point Last Night and Died Within an Hour
From Thursday's Daily Banner

The entire city will be shocked this morning when the fact is known that Mr. W. 
C. Shackelford is no more.
He came in last night on the Georgia train from Union Point and went to the 
office of Dr. H. M. Fullilove, where an operation was performed, and death 
resulted from chloroform anesthesia.
The operation was successfully performed by Drs. Goss and Fullilove, and the 
patient afterwards collapsed.
Few young men in Athens had more friends than did genial Will Shackelford. He 
was ever genial, ever accommodating, and was the life of any set of young men 
with whom he was thrown. In his 25th year, with every promise of a long and 
useful career, to be thus suddenly cut down is a great blow to parents, brothers 
and sisters.
Soon after his death his brothers Messrs. Frank and Tom Shackelford were at the 
side of their loved brother and they were crushed, and as the news passed over 
the streets many of his young friends hastened to the scene, and many were the 
expressions of sympathies and regret heard on all sides.
Mr. Shackelford was for some years with the Athens Hardware Co., but had lately 
been with the Simmons Hardware Co., of St. Louis. He was a member of the K. of 
P., and a member of the Methodist church.
